Different Drum

[jonnyreyn]

half a beat slower and I think this would have been well good

[bigsoundp]

what's with the guy in the green coat walking back and forth about a dozen times?

[bigcatundertree]

Wow I couldn't stop listening. great driving rhythm, you gotta come to Melbourne Aust,

& Fireball Johnson is a great name aswell!

[spotomorse]

Damn Right!

[ElectricStrider1]

I like it!

Excellent cover.

Mike Nesmith would be proud.

[August8th1969]

Very well done!!!

[buddyzzyp]

Well done, girls and guy. Smashed it beautifully.

[toogawnjawn]

this is the first time I have seen a live cover of this song, good job

[k77jones]

lolz, great band, but what a crowd!

[lpgft]

Has anyone signed you yet ?? If not, I think it is time !! let me know

[motownmaniax]

Like the version....and always good to see women rockers. We need more!!

[MikeInStartup]

The guy with the bad pants is up to no good!

[loonmaniac]

Punk rock!

[moontheloon1982]

yeah , nobody is as good as linda....but this is really F ' n cool. I'm surprised how well they made it work

[C6Sheila]

Australian Band The Verses do a nice laid back cover of this song and I love it, but this ROCKS ! Well done !

[hhhbunny]

very weird. lovely guitar sound. Sounds like someone grafted a girl group onto "London's Burning". NIce try though. Thanks.

[MrArleigh]

every time the camera tried to get a close up of the singer that asshole in the green jacket would stand in the way

[heyazzhole]

only problem and this true for every local music scene, no one cares about live bands anymore

[spotomorse]

It's amazing how this song empowered generations of women. Great juice.

[infocado]

just love the way this song grows & grows with each different interpritation - I love them all

[rugout]

has anybody said Janis Joplin yet?

[texadonkey34]

wow. great job. I love it, when old songs keep lving on.

[bigdgt06]

.........will somebody puuuuuulllleeeees grab that IDIOT in the olive-colored jacket, that's pacing back-and-forth, and get him the hell out of the video???....other than that, you gals sounded pretty good.............

[fairlybursting]

Love this, and love Ronstadt's version too. Refreshing energy!

[B52sguy]

To each their own, I suppose, but there is no comparison to The Stone Ponys with Linda's remarkable vocals.

Even Mike Nesmith said he liked the way that Linda et al worked the lyrics and the composition.

But, at least the homeless crowd had fun!

[FKrgrNMES3]

Great job by this talented band! I love this song slow, but they made me like it fast as well.

[spankiek]

The homeless guy thought he died and was in heaven - suddenly his street is lined with spirited & beautiful young women playing electric guitars and singing JUST FOR HIM!!

Then at the very end, notice how the security guard suddenly appears as if he's putting the wraps on a street-crime cleanup. The hobo's dream is over!

[Strathmore18]

@spankiek LMAO,yeah you nail it, haha

[joeskicos]

More!!!!

[Clarinetboy82]

I never cared for the original Mike Nesmith version, but I've always been a fan of Linda Ronstadt. I have to say I like the different pace this group brought to a great classic!

[borch1260]

Amazing!!!! i give this band a ton of credit, performing to the max in front of a strolling homeless guy!!! That's show biz!!!!!!!

[acdeucee]

Very nice Job!!!

[williepete]

What a great version of a country classic - I really love that high-energy guitar, and the vocals match the guitar. And the band are great to watch - attractive women who are excited about their music. But I couldn't watch the whole clip - with the homeless bums wandering back and forth creating a lateral distraction, and the camera zooming in and out like it was on a yoyo, I had to open another tab and listen without watching!!

[SmokieMac]

I expected this to suck! Very nice cover.

[Poe397]

Not to sound picky but this is not a Linda Ronstadt song,..she and the stone ponies covered a Michael Nesmith tune.

[vezina333]

Homeless guys are cool!!

[vezina333]

Homeless guys are cool!!

[avcat1]

I like the version but it's the camera work I respectfully must comment about. I would like to suggest, while it is good that it's clear the video was shot with the camera mounted on a tripod, the results could have been much better if some basics techniques were used.

[zeppelinwoman]

Great Voice! wish i had it !

[Strathmore18]

Where is everyone at this concert? If it wasn't for the homeless guys there wouldn't have been an audience, It looks like the Mayor evacuated the city and forgot to tell the band,and the band played on.If I was the camara man,I would have been pissed,every close-up shot of Carla had the homeless guy's ass in the way,too bad Carla looked hot in her ripped-up jeans for what I could see.If you ever play New York City,I would love to see you,until then keep rocking babe!!

[JohnnyStarScream]

FUCKIN AWESOME LADIES!! I LOVE IT!!! I'd be dancin all crazy if I was there... even if I was all alone. You are Wicked!! Much love From Toronto!! I'd love to see L.A. Invite me!! XOX

[habdon]

Gee how come i cant find lunch time gigs like this.These babes rock.

[tullvis]

Not bad. Not too many chicks nowadays are this good live. The Bangles started the era of the great chick band, as if you didn't know. Pity it's all but dead, what with all the skank running all over the place.

[Zippymt]

A nice surprise I very much like this version.

[norefundgirl]

Hey, Was searching youtube to find a acuostic version of this song I can work with.  Came across your rocky version and I must say..I really lked it..Real rocked up version.get it out there before someone else does.

[Nefarioso]

For an acoustic version, check out Mike Nesmith's original.

[neverindoubt]

This band has possibilities...wish someone would take them in hand and work with them

[phddddd]

Far out, ladies! I keep coming back to your version. It rocks.

[bop35music]

the homeless and other folks on the nickle are diggin it.

what a wild lunchtime gig!

amazing what you'll stumble across while looking for something completely different, no wonder i dont get anything done =) BTW, luv it! what year is this, johnson?

[PhatBoyTunes]

I kinda enjoy the songs writer, Mike Nesmith's version the best. This one is good too.

[spyweed1111]

This is great! Great vocals!!!

[skilski2003]

Hmmmm, this is not good. Don't think the song was meant to be sung like this, but to each his/her own. Wonder what Mike Nesbith would think..since he wrote it?

[anglepegasi]

im realy suuuure they covered from the gimme gimmes band

[crushedz]

Pure art here.Not a bad delivery either.

[srsteve12]

TOOO FAST!

[iriswigle]

Nice cover of Linda Ronstadt but I think that Johnny Cash's daughter did the best. Okay Frida was good, Sinead O'Connor was excellent, Janis Joplin, Sally Fields, Annie Fields, Sissel, Kate Bush, Barbara Eden, Nancy Sinatra, Susanne Summers, Connie Stevens, Ann Margaret but I don't think that she actually went on stage. She was interviewed once pretending to be Linda. Natalie Wood pretended to be Shirley Jane Temple. Maria Osmond was the most common fill in and she was excellent

[noninon]

cant say anything bad about it, they did jutice for their style of playing

but

there are some songs that just need to STAND AS IS, I dont even like hearing the live version on here but cant resist watching cause she was so gorgeous

[mcrluver3667843]

I was pleasantly surprised by this. Nice cover ,I like how they took the sweetness out of it and showed a different side of the same song. Oh by the way this girl sounds NOTHING like Gwen Stephanie, she sounds better ! Now I've got to find out who they are.

[anglepegasi]

this is covered by a cover song rock version, but yea they play good.

[Chastalard]

Oh dear...I don't think so...and I'm over 50...actually I'd like to hear an unplugged of this...she's too manic...calm down honey

[holyshitvideos]

what is your problem? IF you don't like it don't watch it. You sound like you are over fifty and ready for the grave. Try it yourself before you go putting other people down for going out there and doing their best. There's nothing manic about this. It's a rock version of the song.

[dpnowell]

the singer is trying wayyyyyyyyy too hard to sound like a Gwen Stefani or another sound-alike. but the band is great!!!

[usingcommonsense]

There is no way that this version is better than Linda's version. It was different. But it was different in a good way. I liked it. They sort of made a Monkees tune out of it. Last Train to Clarksville kind of thing

[paulchip2003]

Greaaaaat like it better than Linda's version

and I'm over 50 years old

[simoncowellscores]

Great job guys!

[coyclown]

Sounds a bit like Gwen Stefani.

[phddddd]

I'm back. What a fine rendition. Ladies, you knock it down. How did Willie Nelson put it about Patsy Cline coming into the studio, after her one and only take of "Crazy:" "Patsy nailed it" You nail this classic!

[phddddd]

in the 60's they only had one word for this, well, two: "Far out!"

[seasideam]

diggin' it

[zeitenwind]

Hobo Joe on the loose!

[Terbrandname]

me first and the gimme gimmes/punk rock band

[Passing4human]

A punk version of "Different Drum"! A bizarre notion at first thought, but these folks pulled it off. Thanks!

[rick89gts]

Great version of Different Drum. Shoulda kept that homeless bum from blocking the view though.

[rtg159]

shulda smashed that bum over the head with ur bass

[aimenhoodle]

WOOHOO! I love this song and this is a great interpretation.

[rtg159]

I wann be this bands groupie!

[Coco1039]

you should mention me first & the gimme gimmes...

[jl45000019]

This is an awesome version of the song, better than any other version ive heard including The Lemonheads and Linda Ronstadt.

Btw Fireball Johnsons singer really can sing and the whole band performance is brilliant. When they next come to the UK Ill pay to see them.

[jjmdavo]

i love the song and your version rocks that made my day thanks guys greg from sydney

[gumshoepaul]

Great version of the song.

[DietrichHamilton]

Hey there are PLENTY of us that know LINDA RONSTADT...but I guess the homeless people you're playing to don't , makes sense but they should just go buy her new cd.

btw, Nice reinterpretation ladies...
